  4. Gas exchange • Picking up oxygen and getting rid of carbon dioxide in the alveoli is called gas exchange. • Red blood cells are bright red when carrying oxygen and dark red/brown when not. • The lungs contain thousand of air sacs containing tiny pockets called alveoli.

  5. Alveoli • Give the lungs a large surface area. • The walls are only 1 cell thick. • They are surrounded by many blood capillaries. • The thins walls of both speed up diffusion of substances (oxygen, carbon dioxide, glucose).
